for her application Yrsa needs to write a one paragraph essay: "How I feel the FCPA would help me be a better horse". She could put in there like, how she takes things too seriously, how deep inside there is a fat circus pony just clamoring for sunlight and a baloon clown act. Every horse's essay is different. Stonewalls for instance. Most horses need to find their inner filly or colt. Stonewall needs to find his inner adult. Many horses need to release the burden of solemness. But stonewall, he needs to check into a mental health unit a couple of weeks and learn that it really isn't all THAT FUNNY to kill people.. I mean, maybe it is to HIM. Also he has issues over how he is not fat and short enough but that;s just something he has to come to terms with and accept about himself. He is always on the very brink of being expelled from the FCPA but every time he goes too far and realizes it, he gets all maudlin and contrite and begs for another chance. We here at the FCPA feel there ARE NO FAILURES and ANY HORSE IS A GOOD HORSE so we have never actually kicked a horse out of the program altho if we did Stonewall would be the very first to go, but as it stands now, we sorta feel like he is a nuclear FCPA meltdown, he got TOO MUCH of it and can't be serious about ANYTHING and any time you try and get him to do something important like "whoa" or anything, he would rather twirl a hoola hoop around his neck instead. He has a long way to go before finding that middle ground we actually strive for.
Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
